Here are a few common questions and answers relating to our DDoS Protection.
A: Wrong. This protection is intended for casual target, we are not entering into the DDOS industry as our main business and this is no bunker and frequent targets and people in the DDoS game should look to specialized services that can tank hundreds of Gbps or ten of millions of pps.
A: Basically it will be filtered traffic during the attack, the attack will not reach your server unless for very brief moments before the protection kicks in. When the protection kicks in you may see packet loss in ICMP, but that is normal, TCP and UDP is not affected so most services will continue working fine.
A: As mentioned we do not intend to enter the DDoS industry, we only wish to offer a kind of insurance that, if you are not an ass and wish to pay a premium, we wont kick you. Before the null, the attack can be as big as 14Gbps and 2.000.000 packets per second. Null will last for an hour, after that the ip is automatically restored.
A: Basically this is filtered by ASIC chips that can be programmed, so it will be adapted. Right now the following attacks are filtered:
TCP SYN Flood
TCP SYN-ACK Reflection Flood (DRDoS)
HTTP(S) Flood Attacks
ICMP Echo Request Flood
TCP ACK Flood
TCP IP Attack
DNS Amplification Attacks
UDP Flood Attack
A: The service cost €9 / month. It is available only in Italy and only for 50-60% of the actual subnets. Please ask if it is available for your service before buying it. In case of an existing service which was attacked without having the protection on, as an IP change will be needed and other manoeuvres, we may charge a setup fee, this is an insurance, not a firefighting service.
A: Right now 80% of Biz Xen plans, 25% of KVM plans and 50% OpenVZ plans. To order go in the addon page of your service. iwStack users can create DDOS protected instance off a dedicated network
